Write & Draw

Marjane
Satrapi, graphic novelist, illustrator and
film director has
said that: “
Images are a way of writing. When you have the talent to be able to
write and draw, it seems a shame to choose one. I think it's better
to do both.” I agree and that is why Left Field will include
photos. It is also why I am delighted that Russell Mills will be designing the book's cover. His images are his way of writing and
what a great writer he is. I
am proud to join him as co-author.
Well known for his record / CD / album covers, he is also a major book
cover designer. You can see his work here. His
authors include Ian McEwan & Milan Kundera, Don Delillo & Jayne Anne Phillips. Thank you, Russell.And
for these words about 'Left Field'. “You’ve
done so much, achieved so much, that is for the good, the right, the
just, that to be asked to undertake the cover design for you, which
may be considered a minor thing in the great scheme of things, is for
me a bloody major thing”. 'Left Field', to be published by Unbound, is now fully funded, so be sure to order your copy and have your name printed in the book.
